DRILLING UNDERWAY AT LYNN LAKE

NICKEL SULPHIDE PROJECT

  • A new phase of drilling has commenced at the Lynn Lake Project in Manitoba, Canada, targeting high-tenor nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation

  • Drill targets include recently identified, untested geophysical conductors at the Fraser Lake Complex prospect, adjacent to drill-defined nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation

  • An initial program of approximately 1,600 metres will test three of six priority targets, with subsequent drilling depending on results

  • Results from this drilling will be announced as they become available

  • Corazon is awaiting approvals for drilling the high priority South Pipe target, and plans to drill this target upon granting of exploration permits

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) (Corazon or Company) is pleased to announce the commencement of the next phase of drilling at the Lynn Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Sulphide Project (Lynn Lake or Project) in Manitoba Province, Canada. The later than anticipated startup for this program is a result of extreme polar weather conditions affecting northern Canada.

Drilling is testing newly identified geophysical conductors immediately to the west of the Fraser Lake Complex (FLC) within the Lynn Lake Project area, where previous drilling by Corazon has identified extensive low-grade disseminated nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation (Figure 1) (ASX announcements 9 November 2020, 23 November 2020 and 25 January 2021).

Six priority drill targets have been identified within a large area of conductance to the west of the main FLC intrusion (Figure 2). This phase of drilling will initially target the three highest priority targets, and will comprise approximately 1,600 metres of core drilling, with subsequent drilling dependent on the results of the current drilling. The location of the initial drill hole (FLC2021-24) is shown in Figure 2.

Results from the drilling will be released as they become available. This will include, if appropriate, statements regarding definitive visual evidence of significant sulphide mineralisation.

This announcement has been authorised on behalf of Corazon Mining Limited by Managing Director, Mr. Brett Smith.

About Corazon

Corazon Mining Limited (ASX: CZN) is an Australian resource company with projects in Australia and Canada.

In Canada, Corazon has consolidated the entire historical Lynn Lake Nickel Copper Cobalt Mining Centre (Lynn Lake) in the province of Manitoba. It is the first time Lynn Lake has been under the control of one company since mine closure in 1976. Lynn Lake presents Corazon with a major development opportunity that is becoming increasingly prospective due to recent increases in the value of both nickel and cobalt metals, and their expected strong demand outlooks associated with their core use in the emerging global electric vehicle industry.

In Australia, Corazon is developing the Mt Gilmore Cobalt Copper Gold Sulphide Project (Mt Gilmore) located in New South Wales, which hosts the Cobalt Ridge Deposit - a unique highgrade cobalt-dominant sulphide deposit. Mt Gilmore is a regionally substantive hydrothermal system with extensive cobalt, copper and gold anomalism. The Company has completed definition drilling at the Cobalt Ridge Deposit and is currently identifying new areas prospective for additional Cobalt Ridge lookalike deposits.

Both Lynn Lake and Mt Gilmore place Corazon in a strong position to take advantage of the growing demand for commodities critically required for the booming rechargeable battery sector.
